Senior Consultant (Solutions Design)

Reporting To: Head of Strategic Consulting

Location: London (& Other markets)

WPP Production is the world’s leading creative content production company. Solutions Design is our strategic discipline – the architectural backbone that orchestrates smarter content systems. We connect people, processes, and the latest AI and data tools to help clients handle the growing complexity of modern marketing.

The Role

The Senior Consultant is a key architect of our offering. You are not just a project delivery lead; you are a core contributor to the thinking behind Solutions Design. While the Head of Strategic Consulting sets the global vision and methodology, you evolve and operationalise it. You take ownership of specific practice areas (e.g., “Agentic Workflows” or “Change Management”), developing the intellectual property that the network uses.

Key Responsibilities

• Practice Development
• Methodology Evolution – refine and lead new frameworks and modules (e.g., GenAI Governance) based on real‑world learnings.
• Capability Ownership – build and codify expertise in key functional areas such as Technology Stacks, Change Management/Transformation, Media/DCO, or Agentic Workflows.
• Thought Leadership – collaborate with the Head of Strategic Consulting to author playbooks, case studies and internal thought pieces that define our market position.
• Strategic Client Leadership – own individual client solutions and lead high‑level strategy sessions for senior clients.
• Director‑Level Advisory – provide guidance to VP/Director‑level stakeholders and help secure internal buy‑in for transformation initiatives.
• Engagement Direction – lead the discovery and design phases, setting hypotheses that Business Analysts validate.
• Synthesis & Storytelling – craft compelling board‑ready presentations from granular data.
• Commercial Structuring – support the Head of Strategic Consulting in pricing value, ensuring engagements remain profitable and self‑funding.

Requirements

• Practitioner Background – deep experience in production (agency or production company) and an understanding of the realities of content creation.
• Transformation Leadership – 6‑8+ years of designing solutions beyond project delivery, capable of shifting between big‑picture strategy and deep‑dive execution.
• Authoritative Presence – gravitas to lead senior stakeholders and the confidence to challenge the status quo politely and firmly.
• Builder Mindset – enjoy creating frameworks, tools and models from scratch rather than merely following templates.
• AI & Tech Fluency – strong grasp of the marketing technology landscape, especially GenAI and Agentic workflows.
• Commercial Acumen – experience structuring SOWs, business cases and ROI models for consulting services.

Why Work Here

At WPP Production, you’ll help shape the future of content production at a truly global scale. We bring together world‑class talent, cutting‑edge studios and advanced technology to solve complex creative and production challenges. You’ll work in a collaborative, borderless environment where craft excellence is valued and innovation is encouraged. You’ll have access to diverse projects, global career opportunities and the support of WPP’s unparalleled network.
